**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters**  **(40 CFR Part 60, Subpart L) (Renewal) 1. Identification of the Information Collection**  **1(a) Title of the Information Collection** NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 1128.10 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0080 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Secondary L ead Smelters were proposed on June 11, 1973 , promu lgated on March 8, 1974 , and amended October 6, 1975, July 25, 1977, February

14, 1989, and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing and new secondary

lead smelt ing facilities : any pot furnace of more than 250 kg (550 lb.) charging capacity , blast (cupola) furnaces, and reverberatory furnaces. The affected facilities include any facility producing lead from a lead bearing scrap material by smelting to the metallic form. Blast furnace means any furnace used to recover metal from slag. Reverberatory furnaces include furnaces of various ty

pes, e.g., stationary , rotating, rocking and tilting. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification , or reconstructi on after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart L

. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owners/operators of the a ffected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. These notifi cations, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS

. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the fil e for at least two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Over the next three ye ars, an average of 25 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard. OMB approved the currently active IC R without any

“Terms of Clearance.” The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal)

. The burden to the “Federal Government” burden is attributed entirel y to work performed b y federal emplo yees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average2

Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal)

. **2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that re flect:

**. . .** application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any

requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, particulate emissions from secondary lead smelting facilities cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health o r welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart L

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the3

applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s i nitial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be r ecorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard(s) are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired , and the standard(s) are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verif

y operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The reques ted recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart L

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register (77 FR 47631) on August 9, 2012. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) whic h is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is4

based on our consultations with the Agen cy ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed. In developing this I CR, we contacted : 1) TRG

– Hot Springs, L.L.C. , at ( 501 ) 262

- 3420 ; and 2) Exide Technologies , at ( 678 ) 566

- 9316

. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection**  Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. I f the information required by these standards was collected less frequently , the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information s ubmitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, Septemb er 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested**  **4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes** The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are secondary lead smelting facilities . The SI C code for the respondents affected by the standards is United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C ) 3341 , which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAI CS ) code 331492 for secondary lead smelters

.5

**4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items** 
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR P art 60, S ubpart L)

. A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Notification of construction/reconstruction. 60.7(a)(1) Notification of actual startup. 60.7(a)(3) Initial performance test results 60.8(a) Initial performance test 60.8(d) Notification of demonstration of continuous monitoring s ys tem. 60.7(a)(5) Notification of ph ys ical or operational change. 60.7(a)(4) Notification of anticipated date for conducting the opacity observations

. 60.7(a)(6)

A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring sy stem is inoperative. 60.7(b)
Performance test records. 60.7(d) Records are required to be retained for two years. 60.7(f) Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.6 **(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for control device. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 5 test, and repeat performance tests if necessary
. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Act ivities, Collection Methodology, and**  **Information Management 5(a) Agency Activities**  EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions7 **Agency Activities** reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b ) Collection Methodology and Management**  Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are p roperl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to compl y with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem i dentification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the col lection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offic es and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for two ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations invol ving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and , therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. The number of small entities potentially affected by

this information collection request is estimated to be 48 percent of the respondent universe, or 12 sources. This estimate is based on the distribution of small entities in the industry , which was provided during the development of the NESHAP for Hazardous Air Pollutants at Secondary L ead Smelters. The distribution of small entities subject to the NESHAP is expected to be similar to the distribution at small entities subject to the NSPS.8

**5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection ac tivity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden unde r the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 3 7 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below)

. Th ese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 121.44 ($ 57.83 + 110%) Technical $ 100.23 ($ 47.73 + 110%) Clerical $ 50.51 ($ 24.05 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information collection activities required b y the subject standard are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and9

maintenance costs.

**(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintena nce (O&M) Costs**  The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations is labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents , periodic inspection of source s of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 0

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 2012 General Schedule , which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees
. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters ( 40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 25 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that n o additional respondents per ye ar will become subject to the standard . The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below , is 25 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that ad dresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.10 **Number of Respondents**

**Total 25**  The number of Total Annual Responses is 25. The total annual labor costs are $ 3,631

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables**  The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below.11 **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 37 at a cost of $3,631

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeepin g burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response
. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $0

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 0 labor hours at a cost of $0 . See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Secondary

L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart L ) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an adjustment decrease of one burden hour for the respondents due to differences in mathematical rounding. Additionall y, there is an increase in burden costs from the most recentl y approved ICR , which is due to an adjustment in the labor rates. This I CR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal a gency . This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of informati on; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulatio ns are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
